FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the field of luminescent materials, and more particularly relates to a titanate luminescent material and a preparation method thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As compared with red sulfide low voltage electroluminescent phosphor Zn_(1-x)Cd_(x)S (x=0-1.0), titanate substrate has a good chemical stability, and the phosphor obtained by doping rare earth luminescent center ions, such as CaTiO₃, has a better color purity. The coordinates of red color of Pr³⁺ excited by photoluminescence and cathode ray are: x=0.680, y=0.311, which are very close to that of the ideal red according to NTSC color gamut. Considering the material stability and luminous colors, the titanate substrate phosphor activated by rare earth ion is expected to replace red sulfide phosphor Zn_(1-x)Cd_(x)S and become a new generation of non-toxic, highly stable red FED phosphor material. Accordingly, it is the goal of researchers for further improving the luminescent properties of this material.
